You are ALREADY doing the right thing! The regulations about holding
tanks and Y valves is for MOUNTED systems....permanently mounted heads
plumbed into the boat. The regs do NOT cover a Portapotti that is NOT
mounted into the boat in a permanent manner, a "portable device", whether
that's a rusty old bucket, a covered plastic bucket from Dunkin' Donuts
(works great, $1), or a "pretty" Portapottie/Sanipottie. If you have a
stern-mounted 1-holer hangin out over the ocean, that's not covered,
either....like old sailing ships had...(c;

Actually they do cover Portapotties and buckets. They are called
"devices". Even the stern mounted 1-holer is a "device". However,
peeing over the side or hanging one's fanny over the side is allowed
under the regs. Might be wiser to immerse the involved body parts in
the water in a crowded marina for obvious reasons. You just can't use
any "device".

Is THAT why that lady on the next dock over was screaming obscenities at
me?! She just couldn't leave it alone...kept screaming about the
"environment". Damned greenies.....
